Is there a valid, serious reason to use a password? My machine is live and open to the internet 24\/7. Am I putting myself or my data in any jeopardy?<\/i><\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n<p>Possibly, maybe.<\/p>\n<p>There are two issues that factor into this.<\/p>\n<p>One: how likely it is that someone will access your machine in a way that a password would have stopped them.<\/p>\n<p>Two: how much personal information is really on the machine, and whether you&#8217;d care if it were stolen or made public.<\/p>\n<p>Only one of those two is really under your control, and even then, only if you&#8217;ve really thought it through.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s more on your machine than you think<\/p>\n<p>I believe that if you took a close inventory of everything on your machine &#8211; everything from your browsing history to the emails you send and receive to the programs you run to the documents you open and the pictures you view &#8211; you&#8217;d be surprised at how much information about you is on your machine.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible that remnants of everything you&#8217;ve ever used that computer for are present and available to someone who knows where to look.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not talking about malicious software, I&#8217;m just talking the information that accumulates or remains when using the computer normally. Things like deleted files, document and web history, the browser cache, and system and software logs are all potential sources of information that may be present on your computer as a side effect of simple, everyday use.<\/p>\n<p>And then, of course, there are your files: everything from emails to documents to photographs to whatever else you have there.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m guessing that there&#8217;s something on your computer that would make you at least uncomfortable if made public or stolen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ask-leo.com\/if_i_have_nothing_to_hide_do_i_still_need_a_windows_password.html\" target=\"_blank\"> Read the rest of the story here.<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This post is excerpted with permission from Leo Notenboom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/winpass1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"winpass1\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-40163\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A Windows login password can be a minor inconvenience that can be disabled.
